I am grateful for my mom. I've had my mom for two years longer than she had her mother! And I'm grateful that she has gotten to meet at least one grandchild (I never met my maternal grandparents). So I'm thankful that I can celebrate this holiday with her. :)

I am thankful for the opportunity to be a mom. I've never learned so much or loved so much. So far we've been blessed with two beautiful children, and hopefully more someday. It's brought me closer to my husband and made my life feel more complete.

oh, this is one of my favorite magazines! i am thankful for the gift of photography, which helps me to remember all the lovely details of life that i so quickly lose sight of in the midst of the day-to-day routine...

I'm thankful for blogs that bring us all together! And my family, of course, but blogs make the world a smaller, friendlier place that feels much safer than it otherwise would. I think blogging will lead to world peace.

What a sweet idea, thank you. I'm thankful for all the young men/women who are serving to protect our freedom ... my prayers are with each and everyone. AND, of course, my own family and my 'blog' families.

I am thankful for the life I lead, and the opportunities I'm blessed with. I do realize that, unfortunately, not everyone is given the same opportunities and chances I have. But hopefully, those unfortunates will be given the chance to step up, for they deserve a better life.

I am overwhelmingly grateful for a current wave of personal creative energy that I've been able to tap into. It's swept away all my excuses that usually keep me from following my creation process and I am loving the perspective on life it's bringing (as well as all the new FINISHED pieces of art)!

I have to say that my husband and his siblings just lost their mother, Karin, to pancreatic cancer on November 8 and I am so thankful for the love and strength that has kept them all together and that I knew his beautiful mother for the past 6 years and that she will never be forgotten.

Love the idea, it's always great to remember what we're thankful for each day. This year I'm especially thankful for my mother, for her memory and the life that she lived. This year Thanksgiving day was also her birthday. She gave us a lot to be thankful for.

I am grateful for my husband and children and loving supportive parents on both sides. My son told his British classmates he has to think about what he's thankful for on Thanksgiving and the teacher then asked the whole class what they were thankful for - a nice way to spread the joy!

I'm thankful that my grandson lives just a few miles from me, and I see him several times a week. In a time when so many grandparents live across the country from their grandchildren, I truly know how blessed I am to be a part of this little guy's life.

As it is Thanksgiving, I wanted to share with you this incredible story from someone who escaped from the recent terror in Mumbai (http://cricketfamily.blogspot.com/2008/11/email-from-mumbai.html).We have so much to be thankful for.With love,Sara

This is a little silly but, this year I am so thankful to have an artificial Christmas tree and all my past decorations. We already put it all out. This year we wouldn't have been able to afford a tree so I am so glad my kids can enjoy a beautiful Christmas.

I'm thankful that I've been able to celebrate Thanksgiving the same way every year since I can remember. The same people, the same food (well, the same recipes), the same smile on my face being surrounded by all of this warmth and love.

completely lovely - would love to win!i'm grateful this thanksgiving for my little 6 week old baby and the love he has brought into our home. he's in great danger of being loved to death by his two older siblings - nothing could be sweeter.

I am grateful for clean water, a roof over my head, food to eat, clothing to wear, the beautiful children I am privileged to raise, and the ability to contribute here and there to making this beautiful world an even better place!

This looks like a great magazine, thank you for introducing me to it! I am thankful for my amazing family, no matter how much time we spend apart when we get together it's as if no time has passed at all.
